GUESTLIST 2017 / ISSUE 101 11 Donald Trump has labelled transgender people as medical burdens in the US military, so they will not be allowed to "serve in any capacity." As he claims the focus needs to be on "decisive and overwhelming victory". Trump chose to announce this over Twitter as this President often does. Twitter, a place where any statement must fit within a 140 character limit. Surely there would have been a more professional, and respectful way to announce this. He even left his first tweet, ending with "The United States Government will not accept or allow..." for 9 minutes, making his followers guess which minority he wants to attack today. There is no further description of when this ruling would come into force, which makes it seem like another sweeping statement that has not been passed through the senate. It seems as if Trump treats this all as a game. He seems to not understand that throwing around rash comments with no further explanation could be extremely harmful, both to transgender people, and also in opening up a space for negative public commentary. TRUMP ATTACKS TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ON TWITTER President Trump, known for personally attacking the underdogs, is attacking another minority group. Earthlings shows you the most horrific footage of animal slaughter, and even though some UK methods may be more humane, seeing that real life horror made me feel sick. I love animals, and I had no idea they were suffering this way, I had never learnt or seen any of these realities before. Turns out what is actually happening is mainstream media, collaborating with big businesses and the government, marketing meat eating as part of everyday life and normalising torture. WHY I AM: VEGETARIAN Often, we dress for approval, say things for agreement and buy things for status. It's tiring, useless and damaging but we all do it in one way or another. But here's the secret: you can actually be happy whilst not giving a f**k about what people think. Here are our survival tips to shaking it all off! No One Actually Cares You'd be surprised as to how many people genuinely don't give a shit about most things that aren't about themselves. People forget your words and actions. We go through our days thinking of what other people are thinking of us and everyone else is also doing the same thing. Surround yourself with people you aspire to be like Surround yourself with people who are self-assured and have their heads screwed on. Company rubs off on you and when you're spending your time with people who don't give a shit about what people think, it will start to come more naturally to you. Know what means the most to you What is the ultimate goal for you? What are you aiming for and truly value? Once you know what your mission is, the opinions of strangers and acquaintances will mean less and less. You can't please everyone Perhaps the most important point. You can live your entire life trying to make everyone around you happy whilst forgetting yourself in the process. But eventually, you're going to realise that you just can't please everyone. So do you, stop giving a f**k about what people think and get out there and live. HOW TO: STOP GIVING A F**K ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK It's a sad truth that we tiptoe through life worrying about what people think of us, thinking more about how to please others rather than how to please ourselves. I watched a documentary called Earthlings and afterwards I couldn't look at my ham sandwich the same way. ENERGY Put energy into everything you do, of course if you are an athlete the more energy you put in, the more productive you will be, but whatever you do, if you put more energy in, you will do a better job. 95% off the world, gets down, tired, despondent and slows down. If you maintain your energy level you will overcome disappointment and you will do more of the right things. You will soar ahead. CAT RACE
